Is MTA’s Authorities & Responsibilities of Michigan Townships (better known as the “Little Red Book”) your go-to resource? Then you may be interested in our “Red Book Ready” (RBR) learning series.

The breadth of township statutory authority can be fascinating and complex. Red Book Ready is a series of classes that take you beyond the book, paring practical guidance with real-world scenarios you can apply to your township. Every elected official, appointed board and committee member, even volunteers – anyone who plays a role in helping to lead their township will find these classes to be a valuable use of their time! 

Here’s how it works: Each chapter within the “Little Red Book” corresponds with classes (offered both in-person and on-demand) that take you deeper into the topics covered within that chapter. It’s a great way to break down complex topics into accessible concepts. 

Take a look at the credit checklist below, or download your own copy here. It’s a handy way to track your progress chapter by chapter. You don’t have to tackle the chapters chronologically, and there’s no time limit for completing the program.
